Potential general manager candidates for the Chiefs

Now that the Chiefs have moved on from John Dorsey as general manager, these next few weeks leading into training camp will be spent trying to find Kansas City’s next GM.

There are several potential candidates, both internally and externally, for what looks like a good job to walk into. The next GM has a top-five coach in Andy Reid, a well-built roster and a quarterback of the future in Patrick Mahomes.

Let’s take a look at some possible candidates for the position.

Brett Veach

Veach seems like the easiest and most obvious choice. He’s the team’s co-director of player personnel and has worked with coach Reid since his Philly days in 2007.

Veach emerged as a GM candidate after interviewing for the Buffalo Bills’ vacant GM job back in May. I’d put money on him as the most likely candidate for the Chiefs’ GM position.

Mike Borgonzi

The Chiefs’ other co-director of player personnel is Borgonzi. He has been in Kansas City since 2009 and worked his way up the chain to where he is now.

Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports mentioned Borgonzi as an internal candidate for the Chiefs’ GM job.

Internal candidates for #Chiefs GM spot expected to be Brett Veach & Mike Borgonzi. Both very young. Regardless, Andy is calling the shots.

Chris Shea

Shea is the team’s salary cap and legal executive and has been in the NFL for 18 seasons. He has worked for several teams in their scouting departments and was recently hired by the Chiefs from Philadelphia.

Russ Ball

Ball is currently the Green Bay Packers’ vice president of football administration and player finance. He has been in the league for 27 years and spent 10 seasons with the Chiefs from 1989-98 as a strength and conditioning coach and later as an assistant to Marty Schottenheimer.

Ball is also a local guy, growing up in Moberly, Missouri and graduating from the University of Central Missouri.

Don Gregory

Gregory, the senior executive scout for the Carolina Panthers, also has ties with the Chiefs. He was in Kansas City for five seasons in the early 2000s serving as a national scout.

Overall, Gregory has been working in the front office of professional teams in the NFL, CFL and XFL since 1986.

Scott Pioli

Yeah, no. Just kidding.
